Welcome.. bienvenido.. moshi moshi!

Thank you for being here, wherever you are in the world. My name is Paul Drecksler and I believe that traveling is good for your soul and good for the world.

My mission at TravelisLife.org is to create educational products, videos, and resources that have a big impact on travelers and a positive impact on our world.

Travel is Life is built for modern day forward thinking travelers (and travel enthusiasts) who share the belief that this world isn't ours for the taking – but for the making.

Through this project, I hope to teach you about the incredible people, culture, and history that make our world so special, and inspire you to travel with a global compassion, open mind, and open heart.

Watch this video to learn more about what travel means to me.
